“WHEN “I” IS REPLACED WITH “WE” EVEN ILLNESS BECOMES WELLNESS”
Nike SB go back-to-back with innovative graffiti artist FAUST on a blockbuster Dunk High, donning the grit and grandeur that symbolises FAUST’s worldwide rise to recognition and extending Nike SB’s perfect run of sneakers in time for their 20th anniversary.
FAUST made his bones on the tough streets of New York City with his best friend and graffiti partner SURE, who tragically passed in 2010. At the centre of a metropolitan art mecca, they shared the aim of going ‘all city,’ having a recognised name in each of the five boroughs, and quickly became known for their huge throw-ups and distinctive calligraphy style.
Transcending the street, FAUST began collaborating with galleries and establishing himself within the design industry alongside companies like Apple, New Era, and Tiffany & Co, but he continued to keep SURE’s name alive with tags across NYC and never lost sight of where he came from. He keeps his face hidden, a poignant reminder that although he managed to smash the glass ceiling and find mainstream acclaim with his art, he still aligns himself with the street crews branded vandals and criminals by the city.
FAUST’s Dunk blends streetwear with stateliness, a high-top shoe that evokes the Empire State’s two-sidedness – its immense commercial skyline and its street-level urban rawness. The inside panels are filled-in with elegant and opulent suede, whilst the outsides are dressed-up in a hardwearing, lustrous leather. Within the shoe resides a resplendent satin, and the underside a tough, rubber outsole – a melting pot of materials that, when put top-to-bottom, form the body of this bomb-ass Dunk.
Topping off, the outer is burning with detail designed by FAUST: a gold one-liner paying homage to SURE has the heaven spot on the lateral of the left shoe, and a matching swoosh is slammed at the medial. Black embroidery reading ‘All That Matters’ rolls across the rear of the right shoe, a shout out to FAUST’s crew, and the laces of each are punctuated by a custom metal deubré. Graffiti is rooted in self-expression, and this shoe comes complete with four sets of laces and a sick chain tag so you can make these Dunks your own.
The Nike SB x FAUST Dunk High has a poised black silhouette embellished with regal gold detailing that embodies the street art heritage of the City of Dreams, a sneaker with a story that, like FAUST, you can take ALL CITY.
